· that the achievement of the infrastructure and amenity package be reviewed and implemented incrementally, as the sub-areas of the neighbourhood are zoned and developed over the development period;
· that the priority for the first sub-area rezoning (the Olympic Village) be to achieve the public amenity standards for public open space, community facilities, housing and childcare identified in the ODP and that staff report back at the sub-area rezoning stage with recommendations on achieving those priorities;

· that the development levies (City-wide DCLs and CACs) received by the City from the development of the PEF lands and the private lands be re-invested in full in the public infrastructure and amenity package identified in the SEFC ODP;
· that the City actively pursue funding from senior governments, community partners and the private sector to achieve the financial, accessibility, environmental and sustainability objectives of the SEFC ODP;
· that as the community develops, the City be prepared to provide interim financing as necessary to ensure the public infrastructure and amenity package are delivered in a timely fashion.
